The Wikipedia's location for "Boffins" is incorrect. Boffin's
bakery was in Oxford, not East Anglia (a rather big place!).
It started as a bakery in the 19th century
http://www.headington.org.uk/oxon/high/tour/south/107.htm
and graduated to a Tea Room at the Carfax cross-roads in the 1930s

see Image 6.
This Boffin's was taken over after the war by another catering
firm.
